Xu Ruantang glanced into the kitchen and lowered her voice, saying, "Didn't Shen Qingwen's mother say that even if her son gets divorced, he can find a new wife right away?"
Xu Ruantang didn't know where Shen's mother's confidence came from.
Putting aside the fact that the Li family has such good conditions, there are few families in Beijing that can compare.
Given the situation of the Shen family, where the whole family relies on Shen Qingwen to earn money, I doubt many parents would be willing to let their daughters marry into that family.
Those who are not well-off may dislike Shen Qingwen because there is no profit to be made from him, and they might even suffer along with him if they marry him.
Those who are well-off have to be wary of the Shen family, fearing that the Shen family will ask them for help; nobody does charity.
Li Shuhe's expression changed, and the spoon in her hand fell back into the bowl with a "clatter".
"Ruan Tang, are you kidding me? You want me to..."
Li Shuhe glanced into the kitchen as well. "You want me to get a divorce? No way. Don't even mention that I've only been married a short time. If I get a divorce now, everyone in the neighborhood will be watching my parents make a scene."
"I can't let go of Shen Qingwen just because of him."
When she said her last words, Li Shuhe lacked confidence.
Xu Ruantang said calmly, "I don't really want you to get a divorce. Of course, this method isn't 100% guaranteed to succeed. If it fails, you and Shen Qingwen will really be over."
Xu Ruantang needs to explain things to Li Shuhe first, because this matter is very big and she needs to think it over carefully.
But without destruction, there can be no construction.
Judging from the current situation, if Shen Qingwen and Li Shuhe continue to drag things out like this, the outcome will definitely not be good.
Love is inherently finite.
As time goes by, perhaps nothing will be left.
Clearly, Li Shuhe understood this as well. She sat silently on the stool for a long time before speaking: "I've made up my mind. I want to do it. Ruan Tang, you tell me."
Xu Ruantang waved to Li Shuhe.
Li Shuhe leaned closer and listened, her eyes lighting up.
......
When Xu Ruantang left the Li family, Li Shuhe had gone from being despondent to being full of fighting spirit.
Li's mother didn't know what the two had talked about, but she had noticed the changes in Li Shuhe.
Xu Ruantang pushed Xiaobao in a stroller, and Li Shuhe escorted them to the door. She then teased Xiaobao, "Come on, give Auntie a kiss."
Xiao Bao stretched out his neck and generously gave Li Shuhe a big kiss on the cheek.
"Oh dear, Xiao Bao, don't go back. Sleep with your auntie tonight."
Li Shuhe beamed and gave the baby a good squirming, which made the child's face tremble with fear.
"Ruan Tang, wait a minute."
Mother Li hurriedly chased after her, carrying a basket in her hand, and stuffed it directly into Xu Ruantang's hands, saying, "These were all made by Auntie herself. Take them home and eat them with Chen Ji."
Xu Ruantang glanced into the basket.
Good heavens, the basket was covered with a cloth underneath and another cloth on top, revealing large chunks of braised beef and roast chicken inside.
"Auntie, this is too much. Chen Ji and I can't finish it."
Xu Ruantang quickly declined.
The main problem is that meat is expensive these days, and these things from Li's mother are too valuable for her to accept.
Mother Li insisted, "Good child, please accept it quickly. If you keep being polite, Auntie will get angry!"
She deliberately put on a long face, "Come visit our house more often when you have time. From now on, treat this place as your own home. Shuhe and you are so close, you should be like sisters from now on."
As Li's mother spoke, she almost cried.
She had been watching Li Shuhe's condition closely and was very worried about her.
No matter how she tried to persuade her, Li Shuhe remained sullen.
Li Shuhe is the only daughter in the family, and her mother dotes on her. When Li Shuhe is heartbroken, her mother can't even eat.
Li Shuhe patted her mother on the back, turned around, took the basket and stuffed it into Xu Ruantang's arms, "Ruantang, my mother is right, with our relationship, why are you being so polite?"
Mother Li chimed in, "That's right, take it quickly."
Xu Ruantang had no choice but to accept it.
As soon as she left, Li's mother murmured as she watched her retreating figure, "What a wonderful girl. If she weren't married, I would want Ruan Tang to be my daughter-in-law."
Li Shuhe was taken aback, but quickly smiled and took her mother's hand, "Mom, don't talk nonsense. Chen Ji is a very petty person. It wouldn't be good if he heard that."
Mother Li smiled and said, "I never said I wanted to take Ruan Tang away."
As the two walked home, Li's mother whispered to Li Shuhe, "Tell me, why is Chen Ji being so petty?"
Li Shuhe: "......"
My mom is such a gossip!
Ever since encountering that group of thugs in her new house during the Lunar New Year, Xu Ruantang has never been back there.
Chen Ji also told her that if she wanted to go, she should tell him, and he would go with her.
Xu Ruantang agreed.
But Chen Ji was always busy and there was nothing for him to do there, so Xu Ruantang simply decided not to go.
That day, Chen Ji returned home and told her some good news.
"Honey, you can go to the new house whenever you want from now on. It's all fine now."
Xu Ruantang was chopping vegetables when she heard this. She put down her knife and asked curiously, "Were all those people wiped out?"
Chen Ji nodded. "They've all gone inside."
Xu Ruantang couldn't help but shout, "Yay! Honey, you're amazing!"
Her eyes crinkled into a smile, and Chen Ji smiled along, reaching out to ruffle her hair. "So happy?"
Xu Ruantang gave him a look, then turned around and continued chopping vegetables.
“I heard Wang Xiuxiu say that those people were very arrogant. They weren’t afraid of calling the police or anything, and they even boasted that they were the kings.”
Those people did say such things, and Xu Ruantang thought it was outrageous when she heard it.
That's indeed the case.
Wang Xiuxiu went to the police station several times; the case was reported and accepted by the police.
And what was the result?
There was only one sentence: "Go back and wait."
The result of waiting was that nothing came of it.
"It's outrageous."
Chen Ji's eyes darkened as he thought of something.
Xu Ruantang sensed the gossip and pestered him with a mix of coquetry and threats. Chen Jicheng couldn't resist and finally confessed, "They are just pawns, including the people from the police station."
When Chen Ji wanted to investigate this line, Chen Lin found out and tried to stop him.
Chen Lin's reason was that he shouldn't interfere in other people's affairs.
At that time, Chen Ji vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
He insisted on investigating, and Chen Lin couldn't stop him. Later, Chen Ji exposed the obvious lead, and Chen Lin had no choice but to help him resolve the issue.
"Then what?"
Xu Ruantang's eyes and heart were filled with a thirst for gossip.
Even though she had transmigrated into a book, she thought that such a thing could only happen on TV, and that it was impossible in reality, especially in Beijing.
Chen Ji lowered his eyes, looking at Xu Ruantang, whose face was bright and beautiful and whose eyes were sparkling, in his arms, his brows and eyes overflowing with tenderness.
"Want to know?"
A hint of mockery flickered in his eyes, his voice hoarse and languid: "Such a big matter, I can't just say it casually, unless..."
